About

Set beside Naburn Lock in a 200-year-old former banqueting hall, this all-vegan tea room serves homemade cakes, scones, soups, sandwiches and generous afternoon teas. Vintage china, antique-filled rooms, riverside outdoor tables and resident animals make it a relaxed stop; reviews also mention Friday quiz nights and Saturday live music.
